On this week’s episode of Scaling Life, I’m sharing my best strategies for taking back control of your calendar as an entrepreneur.
We only have so many hours in a day, so it’s crucial that we spend them doing things we love instead of drudgery. I’ll explain my step-by-step system for figuring out what tasks you should delegate, automate or outsource so you can focus on your zone of genius.
Key Takeaways:
- As a founder, you should be spending your time only on work you enjoy and excel at - not doing tedious tasks just because you think you “have to”
- Write down everything you do in a typical week, breaking it down hour by hour. This awareness helps you make better choices.
- Categorize each task as: Don’t like/Not good at, Don’t like/Good at, Like/Good at, Love/Great at
- Delegate or outsource the first two categories so you have more time for passion projects
- Every quarter, re-evaluate how you spend your time using this system
“There are people out there that loves doing the things that you hate and are not good at. They love them. It's the best thing in the world.”

In this week’s episode of Scaling Life, I sat down with Petter Erik to tackle a tricky topic - how much conviction and certainty should you have when coaching clients? As mentors ourselves, we walk a fine line between confidently guiding entrepreneurs down a proven path while still leaving room for them to find their own way.
I share my own journey from initially feeling uncomfortable promoting our methods to fully owning my expertise. Petter Erik weighs in on why clients actually crave certainty from coaches, and that it’s our job to clearly map out their steps to success.
We also dive into:
- Why some entrepreneurs bounce from idea to idea without taking action
- How your values and authenticity builds client’s trust
- Why we’ve focused our niche - we can’t be all things to all people
- The criteria we each use to choose our own mentors
- Taking responsibility when a program isn’t the right fit
A few powerful quotes:
"People are choosing a mentor or teacher to be told what to do. They want a clear process, they want someone to say, like, first you do this, and then you do this."
"When you're a mentor, you need to be more certain than the person you're mentoring that this will work. And then they start to believe it."
"I want a mentor that is challenging my belief system, because I think if I'm going to get better...it needs to be someone who's challenging what I have believed all my life."

In this week's episode of Scaling Life, I sat down with Sadie Lawler, an entrepreneur and mom who left her career in TV production to start a business helping women heal from injuries.
We covered a lot of ground in this motivating discussion! Here are a few highlights:
- Sadie shares how she overcame being told by doctors that her condition was permanent and untreatable. Her "no one decides my limits but me" attitude ignited her healing journey and later business.
- I ask Sadie how she balances ambition with family responsibilities. She talks about how fear led her to unintentionally push her daughter away and why she now prioritizes fun quality time together.
- We discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with people at a higher level so your big goals feel small. I relate how joining Dan Sullivan's mastermind flipped my perspective on taking time off.
- Sadie stresses how essential inner spiritual work has been for maintaining motivation and overcoming obstacles. I share how I push myself outside my comfort zone to keep a youthful mindset.
There were so many powerful insights in this episode! Be sure to tune in to listen to the full conversation.

I had an enlightening discussion with my friend and Scaling Life Podcast producer, Kurtis Goodwolf in this week's episode where we explored the elusive concept of authenticity.
What does it really mean to be true to yourself? How can we break free from society's rules and judgments to embrace our most authentic voice?
Kurtis shared profound insights from his journey as a musician busking on the streets of Dublin, to working on some of the worlds biggest podcasts like Ben Greenfield Fitness, Mindvalley and Well Beyond 40, and about the work it takes to strip away our habitual patterns and dig deeper.
Key takeaways:
- Why we craft personas to conform to expectations and how to rediscover our inner truth
- His brilliant tactic for helping people hear their real voice
- Why podcasting is the perfect tool for growing yourself, your brand and your business
- That the bravest act is taking the stage, not how perfectly you perform
- How the spark of an idea you initially doubt is usually your most authentic self
"You gotta go old school. You gotta turn off your social media. You gotta turn off your phone. You gotta turn off your devices. You gotta put that time aside on a daily basis and really think about ‘’Who are you?" - Kurtis Goodwolf
